I didn&#39;t have cutting shears, so I had to use the knife, but it was so much easier after the lesson. I bought the whole chicken to use for your lemon yoghurt chicken. It looks delicious and I can&#39;t wait to try it. Thanks again for the tutorial and for making your lessons so enjoyable!

I liked video so much that I stuck around and viewed several other videos. I&#39;m actually going to cook the Cornell Chicken tomorrow. Thanks for the effort that you put into this site. There is a great deal of good info here.<br /><br />AnthonyElder Quehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10241083642907047326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-33422073694245825982009-08-03T07:02:52.655-04:002009-08-03T07:02:52.655-04:00I just found your blog!

Here you are:<BR/><BR/>4 cups of evaporated milk (A little more than two cans)<BR/>2 cups of sugar<BR/>2 eggs<BR/>1 t sp of lemon juice<BR/>1/4 t sp of salt<BR/>Blend all ingredients together (I use a blender) and cook at medium heat or a little less, until is golden brown. If you skip the lemon you will have a creamy dulce de leche. My family prefers the chunky version and I am sure you will too so use lemon.<BR/>I love you.

Aren't you working with the same amount of chicken either way? Is there an optimal shape to each piece that you can't get with a pair of scissors (like you mentioned in the video with the leg)? Or are you referring to the knife's precision when removing fat and bone?Ericnoreply@blogger.com
